The Reports on the Baltimore & Ohio
Negotiations.



The reports on the Baltimore & Ohio ne
gotiations continue very complicated out sew.
ersl details are being Strengthened out, and
the prospects are favorable for general
clearing up of the complications. The trouble
is mainly due to the fact that If the property
is transferred as at first proposed, deferred
payment of SIC, zoo, 900 will be lien upon the
whole system and the purchasers of any OF
the different parts could not obtain clean
title. To obviste this proposed transfer of
telegraph lines will first be made direct from
the Baltimore and Ohio to syndicate for
81, 500 coo, and that amount will be deducted
from the first payment OF Sc 900, 900. 1t was
said on Wall street today that formal bid
of 81, 500, 900 was made by Drexel, Morgan
& Co. on behalf of the syndicate.

really are excellent grounds. What

really are excellent grounds. What
ever the Prince may be personally, he
represents a system which Ireland
and 1rishmen have found harsh and in
tolerably oppressive and against which
they are to-day in moral, as they may
be at almost any time in actual, revolt.
Even if the Irish were in a condition of
mind to reason calmly and dispassion-
ately on the subject, they might well
wonder that professed friend of theirs
and a seeker for their support should
run after one who embodies quite as
much as any one person can the OPP
preston they find so grievous. And
not being, just at present, in such
condition of mind, the Irish are very
likely to do more than wonder when
they see Mr.. Blaine hob-nobbing with
British royalty.
This, however, is matter which
concerns chiefly the Republican sup
porters of Blaine and his Presidential
aspirations. To the outsider there is
occasion for neither pride nor anxiety
in his association with the heir-aepa-
rent to the throne of Great Britain and
India There is room, perhaps, for
some curiosity. Knowing that a man
of Biaine's attachments can gain moth
ing from the Pri nee, either of political
or practical information, or even Of
insight into the habits of good society,
one can not help feeling that it is the
Prince who has sought the intimacy.
So feeling, we must speculate some.
what as to his purpose. Is he after in
formation as to diplomacy, the man.
agement of lobby, the packing Of
caucuses, the use of ''infiooence' with
legislators or the art of getting in ''on
the ground floor" of enterprises that
need Legislative aid? Or is he looking
for points in the art of letter. writing
and the propriety of letter. burning?
If either of these is his object the
Prince has struck the right man. More
than any other American, distin-
guished or obscure, MIR. Blaine can en-
tighten Wales upon all these matters.

A BARREN SEASON.

Scarlet sunsets wondrous bright
Drifted over sea and meadow,
But they had mournful CLEAN,
And to me we've fraught with shadow;
And the wtching moon at night
All In vain hung out her light.
All in vain to flying feet
Silver music softly swept;
All In vain the leafy shade
Ger the snug piazza crept:
And the perfumed twilight drew
Purple vail athwart the blue.
All In vain the penslve walks,
And the sails where waves were flowing;
All In vain the sweet wild flowers
BY the way their bushes showing;
All in vain the toilets fine,
With their subtitle Paris shine.
All in vain the golden days.
Scarce fog breath on the ocean;
All in vain the means to flirt,
And the fashionable commOtion;
All in vain the English swell,
Though one never looked so we'll.
Twas the slowest and most triste,
Dreariest Of any season,
Wasted time; with regret
Do I look back, and with reason.
Envy triumphed, dullness ragged,
For but once 1 was engaged.

BLAINE AND WALES.

Matters on Which the Plumed Knight
Can Enlighten the Gay Prince.
The intimate relations between our
Blaine and England's Wales are well
calculated to raise futter in the Re-
publican bosom. It will not be u
wholly pleasurable emotion, but a
mingled futter, so to speak, of pride
and anxiety. There will be pride that
the plumed one is recognized by the
great ones of the earth as one of their
own kidney; but there will be anxiety
also lest his intimacy with this partic-
ular great one may prejudice him in
the fishing excursion upon which he
has gone for the Irish vote. And, UNI
fortunately, there is more ground for
the pride than the anxiety. Aside
from the fact that he is Prince there
is nothing great about H. R. Il. He
has achieved no distinction on the
score of personal ability. He is neither
wise nor learned except in court ETH
guette, and his moral reputation is
seriously "otf COLOR Except by viz
tue of his station he confers no honor
or distinction upon any American
citizen by receiving him upon
terms even Of equality; and he certain
ly can confer none on citizen who
has been exalted as Mr.. Blaine has and
who holds the position he does even
now in the estimation of large num-
Der of his fellow-citizens. Pride, there
fore, in his recognition by the Prince,
has an extremely fimsy foundation
and will chiefly be felt by those Of
Mr. Blaine's admirers, who are given
to toadyism or anglomania.

HEAT AND ROCK.
Tho Powerful and Unlimited Met8mors
phic Influence Of Water.

pu1C xuuuoNCo "a WSSOAs
That heat exercises metamorphos-
ing influence on the structures itcomes
in contact with is matter of familiar
knowledge to every one. The pris-
matte texture assumed by the lining
of furnaces after long-continned heat
has long been noticed, while the exam-
ination of q brick or teacup shows
how clays are consolidated or fused
when they are 'baked." The "vitri-
fication" of sand into a CLASSY mate-
rial is another peculiar case in point.
Where trap or granite dykes have OBJ
truded themselves the rock on either
side is altered in structure, being as a
rule rendered more crystalline than
tho unallered mass The high tenn
peraturc. however may be applied,
not by contact, as in the case men,
toned. but by transmission in various
ways, such as through the
heat of a volcano, or by hot springs,
steam or other vapor permeating
for a long period the strata. Even
cold water exercises certain meta
morphic influence on the rocks through
which it percolates. 1t is found in
more or less minute quantities in all
rocks, even the quartz of granite
being full OF tiny water vesicles. of
which only the furnace can deprive it.
Some GRANTEES, indeed. contain in
their ordinary state pint and half
in every cubic foot Chalk is also
highly absorbent some forms of it
being able to take up half of their bulk
without appearing to be moist Ordin-
airy sandstones hold nearly gallon in
a cube foot, and according to Ansted,
in the best building stones be-
longing to the sandstone group from
four to five pints of water are con-
tanned in each cubic foot of the stone.
The quantity of water capable Of be-
ing held by common loose sea-sand
amounts to at least two gallons in a
cubic foot, while into the layers Of
sand between the harder rocks SC
much water is always soaking that
the driest seasons do not exhaust these
reservoirs. By dissolving out certain
chemical constituents in the rock
water must, therefore, exercise some
alteration on the beds through which
it percolates, or in which it stands.
This power is, of course. greatly in.
tensified by heat, and this heat we
know. is added to it in constantly in
creasing amounts as the water
